Report: Cubs plan to call up hot-hitting first baseman Mervis on Friday. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Right around the time Washington Nationals starter Patrick Corbin cruised through the Cubs lineup for the first time Thursday, some notable news appeared on Twitter.
Since a corresponding move is needed to bring up a player from Iowa, there may not be an official confirmation until Friday morning. The most obvious scenario would be infielder Edwin Rios being sent down, since he's been used sparingly. The Cubs may be reluctant to part with Eric Hosmer until they see how Mervis performs at first base.
Last year, Mervis was named the Cubs' minor league player of the year after hitting a combined .309 with 36 home runs and 119 RBI across three levels.
